Hardware, Embedded Systems After personal computers arrived in the 1970's they went through a series of revolutionary changes delivered by a series of different platforms. It's been over a decade since we've seen anything truly revolutionary, will we see a revolution again? I believe we could not only see revolution again, we could build it today.

beyond cisc, risc, vliw, epic?

is there an instruction set that goes beyond cisc, risc and vliw and epic?

personally, since hitachi superh core only takes up like 3mm, but performs on-par with a 1-ghz pentium 3, and many 90nm processors have die size of 120mm, why not have a 40-cpu multicore superh processor (allowing for built-in controller and cache size)
